Mariposa Marketing: Helping Local Businesses Find Their Digital Wings

As a small business owner in Albuquerque, I know how tough it can be to stand out in today’s crowded digital landscape. You pour your heart into your work, but without the right marketing strategy, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle. That’s where Mariposa Marketing comes in—a locally rooted digital marketing service that understands the unique flavor of New Mexican businesses.

Run by a proud UNM grad and lifelong New Mexican, Mariposa Marketing blends deep local insight with a passion for digital strategy. Whether you're a family-owned restaurant, an artisan shop, or a startup needing a stronger online presence, this is the kind of team that gets what makes our community special.

Personalized & Passionate Approach

One of the first things that stood out to me was how much Mariposa Marketing cares about local businesses. This isn’t some faceless agency—it’s a homegrown operation that genuinely wants to see New Mexican companies thrive. The founder’s love for the state (and their undeniably correct "Christmas" answer to the red or green chile debate) tells you everything you need to know—they get the culture here.

When working with them, I noticed how they take time to understand a business’s identity before jumping into strategy. They don’t just push cookie-cutter solutions; they tailor their approach to fit the unique personality of each client.

Digital Expertise with a Local Touch

Since digital marketing is constantly evolving, it’s crucial to work with someone who stays ahead of trends. Mariposa Marketing balances tech-savvy strategies with a down-to-earth, community-first mindset. Whether it’s social media, SEO, or branding, they make sure your business doesn’t just look good online—it feels authentic.

That said, if there’s one small critique, it’s that they might not be the best fit for massive corporations looking for global-scale campaigns. Their strength lies in local and regional businesses, where their personal touch and cultural fluency really shine.

Transparent & Collaborative Process

No one likes working with a marketing team that speaks in jargon and keeps you in the dark. Mariposa Marketing keeps things clear and collaborative, making sure you understand every step of the process. They don’t just hand you a plan and disappear—they work with you to refine and adjust as needed.
